6A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2018 Brown looks ahead to four more years Governor fends off Buehler By TROY BRYNELSON Capital Bureau On Tuesday night, Gov. Kate Brown ended a record-breaking year for cam- paign spending and anticipat- ing what could be her last four years in public office. The Democrat defeated Republican Knute Buehler, an orthopedic surgeon and state legislator from Bend, in a race that was decided quickly after balloting ended. Her re-election means a continuing press on environ- mental issues and on educa- tion. With no campaign ahead of her, she faces a term with a firmer hold on the office and less of a need to grasp political advantage. The two spent more than $30 million combined in their bids for Oregon’s top job, marked by major donations to Buehler from Nike co-founder Phil Knight. Brown, from a lectern at the Hilton Portland Down- town, told supporters that vot- ers showed how elections in Oregon aren’t all about who Jonathan House/Pamplin Media Group Gov. Kate Brown addresses her supporters after results showed she won re-election to another four-year term. raises the most money. “No one person should be able to buy the governor’s office,” Brown said to cheers. Buehler told supporters at the Sentinel Hotel in Portland that he was as disappointed as they were. “My voice will not be lead- ing this state for the next four years and I certainly accept that decision,” he said. “But let’s also be very clear: the status quo in this state is not tolerable.” Polls leading into Novem- ber showed the two candidates virtually neck and neck. In her victory speech, Brown said her stances on education, afford- able housing and health care won over Oregonians. “This election shows that when Oregonians are given an opportunity to invest in our classrooms, to build affordable housing, to protect health care, it’s not a toss-up. It’s not even a close call,” she said. But, afterward, Brown con- ceded she worried it could have been much closer. “I knew the race was going to be close, and thought it would be close all along, but to take this solid of a lead made me really happy,” she said. Victory secured Brown a second term as governor. She succeeded to the job in 2015 after the resignation of former Gov. John Kitzhaber. Brown, 58, then won a special election in 2016 to fill out the remain- der of Kitzhaber’s term. It also secured Brown a governance with a Demo- cratic supermajority, as the party seized at least three seats in the state House by Tuesday night. “It’s just really cool to be able to pick up races in the state House and the Senate and really be able to make a huge difference over the next two years in Oregon, and keep Oregon moving forward,” Brown said. Brown’s victory was lauded by environmental groups and some unions. Doug Moore, executive director of the Ore- gon League of Conservation Voters, said Brown’s re-elec- tion kept the climate in good hands. “Climate change was on the ballot, and climate change won with Kate Brown,” he said. Joe Baessler, political director for Oregon’s Amer- ican Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents government workers, said Brown’s leadership is better for affordable housing initia- tives and public employees. “She didn’t get enough credit for it, but she had a litany of great accomplishments,” Baessler said, noting that he hoped to see strong progres- sive policies in Brown’s next term. “We have agencies that are barely able to accomplish the tasks they’re mandated to because they don’t have the resources.” Brown appeared ready to get started on her next term during her victory speech. She said as much as she was flanked by two dozen school- children and her husband. “Make no mistake. The fight isn’t over. We’ve still got lots of work to do,” she said. “We’ve never had some- one so divisive in the White House or someone with such less respect for the truth or for the people impacted by his decisions.” In the weeks before the election, Brown outlined sev- eral directions she would take in a second term — hoping to bolster education, combat cli- mate change, reduce home- lessness and more. Brown, who started her career in 1991 and has run for office eight times, said she does not plan to run again in 2022. She said she wants to spend more time with her hus- band, Dan Little, and do things that make her happy. Oregon voters block sanctuary law repeal, grocery tax ban By CLAIRE WITHYCOMBE Capital Bureau SALEM — Oregonians on Tuesday blocked attempts to overturn the state’s sanctuary law and affirmed public fund- ing for reproductive health care, holding onto its status as a socially liberal state. In so doing, voters rejected socially conservative priorities by large margins. They also roundly rejected fiscally conservative measures that attempted to restrict tax increases, opening the door for broader tax reform in the 2019 legislative session. Voters rejected Measure 103, which would have banned taxes on groceries, and turned away Measure 104, which would have required a three- fifths majority vote in the Leg- islature on certain tax-related measures. Under that measure, law- makers — 60 percent in both THE DAILY ASTORIAN W EDNESDAY E VENING A (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) the state House and Senate — would have had to vote “yes” to approve changes to tax credits, exemptions and deductions, or fee increases. The liberal coalition Our Oregon claimed that the state in this election defended itself from out-of-state interests. “By rejecting Measures 103 and 104, Oregonians came together to defend our values from outside special interests who tried to increase their prof- its at the expense of Oregon families,” Becca Uherbelau, the executive director of Our Ore- gon, said in a statement. “Voters once again made a statement for all of Oregon’s leaders to hear: we want strong investments in health care and education.” Proponents of Measure 104 said the measure’s complicated ballot title presented an insur- mountable challenge. “The complicated and con- fusing ballot title was just too much to overcome,” said Shawn Cleave, government affairs director for the Ore- gon Association of Realtors, in a statement. “Our coalition will continue to fight to protect important deductions like the mortgage interest and property tax deductions that keep home- ownership affordable for many of our friends and neighbors.” Measure 105 would have overturned a state law that pro- hibits local police from using resources to apprehend people whose only violation of law is being in the country without legal permission. Supporters of the mea- sure challenged a law that has been in place since 1987. It was designed to prevent racial pro- filing by police. “It reaffirms the feeling that Oregon is a welcoming state,” said Levi Herrera-Lopez, exec- utive director of Mano a Mano, a community organization in Salem that primarily serves Latino families. Herrera-Lopez joined many Mano a Mano staff knock- ing on doors urging people to vote “no” on the measure. He said the results validate what they heard from voters on the ground. “Us immigrants, we’re seen as people who can contribute to the community,” he said. “The rhetorical significance of invad- ers doesn’t hold ground here in Oregon.” The measure prompted a divide within the state’s law enforcement community, with 16 largely rural sheriffs — including Clatsop County Sheriff Tom Bergin — sup- porting the measure. Other offi- cials spoke out against it pub- licly, including Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese and Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel. The measure demonstrated the renewed interest in immi- gration policy under President Donald Trump. Voters also blocked Mea- sure 106, which was mounted by an anti-abortion group that wanted to ban public funding for most abortions. Abortion-rights advocates were buoyant about the results. “Together, we made sure that Oregon voters saw Mea- sure 106 for what it was: a backdoor ban on abortion,” said Grayson Dempsey, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon’s political action com- mittee. “In Oregon, we trust women to make their own decisions — and a right is not a right if you cannot afford to access it.” Amid a statewide hous- ing crisis, Oregonians also approved a measure that allows local governments to use public bond money for private hous- ing projects. “Housing is affecting every- body, whether it’s our workers at (Oregon Health & Science University) who are getting priced out of Portland or work- ers in Pendleton who are wor- ried about finding housing,” said Joe Baessler, political director for Oregon’s American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents government work- ers. “It took me by surprise how strongly our members felt about that measure.” The measure requires local voters’ approval of any such bonds, annual audits and public reporting on how the borrowed funds are spent.
